Isha Ambani wears Roberto Cavalli gown ‘handmade over months using classic Bandhani'; netizens say ‘a true celebration of Indian artistry meeting Italian drama'
Isha Ambani's wardrobe is an eclectic mix of Indian and Western couture, paying homage to the rich heritage and talent of both sides of the world. Whether it's her family's wedding celebrations or the iconic steps of the Met Gala, Isha never misses a chance to shine a special spotlight on Indian artisans and craftsmanship. Last night, Anaita Shroff Adajania took to Instagram to share the stunning results of her latest collaboration with Italian couturier Roberto Cavalli — a custom pink Bandhani gown, inspired by a 2012 project. Sharing insights into this collaboration, the stylist wrote: 'A really special collaboration with Roberto Cavalli creating a couture gown for Isha that elegantly fused Indian craftsmanship with Italian couture. Handmade over months using classic Bandhani traditionally from Kutch, crafted by local artisans.' Designed by Fausto Puglisi, the look drew inspiration from Cavalli's 2012 collaboration with Vogue India for Project Renaissance – a 'very special' piece of work for Adajania. Inspired by the original design, which featured a halter-neck fishtail gown in maroon with golden brocade embroidery panels stitched along the expanse of the fabric, Isha's hot pink ensemble featured similar golden embroidery. For accessories, she chose pink and white diamond-shaped earrings, dainty finger rings, and a sleek wrist charm, and kept her hair loose and voluminous. A wash of soft pink on her lips and eyes, and rosy blush accentuated her look. 'Assigning Indian textiles to global fashion houses and asking them to reimagine tradition? Genius,' digital creator and fashion critic Diet Sabya wrote on their Instagram. 'When Anaita Shroff Adajania recreates one of those iconic looks today, it's not just a throwback but a love letter to a moment in time (pre-Instagram) when magazines and publishing reigned supreme and the fashion editorial was gospel. Before content became 'content,' before stylists had to chase engagement metrics, and before the AI-fication of design-at-large.' Netizens, too, were highly impressed with many of them responding with comments like: 'Stunning,' 'Epic,' 'What a spectacular fusion of heritage and haute couture. The Bandhani detailing adds such soul to the silhouette, a true celebration of Indian artistry meeting Italian drama. Loved seeing Cavalli's legacy reimagined with such depth and meaning. Bravo, @anaitashroffadajania ,' and 'Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️.' Isha Ambani's love for Bandhani is nothing new, though. For her brother's wedding celebrations last year, she wore a custom Arpita Mehta tier ruffle Bandhani sari with signature mirror, thread, and cut danna hand embroidery to craft motifs. Kolkata-based Naina Jain, the creator of #EvergreenBandhanis, provided us with a glimpse into the traditional art of Bandhani, a piece of history, culture, and storytelling with deep roots in Rajasthan and Gujarat. 'Bandhani is the hand-tying process of fabric into a desired pattern, where each small portion is picked minutely and tied using cotton thread,' said Naina. These knots are the foundation of bandhani's intricate beauty, each symbolising life events like birth, marriage, and celebration. Artisans from remote Kutch villages are the true craft masters, tying each knot with precision to ensure uniformity and symmetry. This labour-intensive craft can take days, weeks, or even months to complete. Unlike mass-produced fabrics, true bandhani is all about the slight imperfections. 'In real bandhani, no two dots are exactly alike. That's the mark of a hand-crafted piece,' said Jain. The slight irregularities, the dots that don't quite align, and the patterns that seem to dance across the fabric are what give authentic bandhani its charm.

Saiyaara Star Ahaan Panday Was 'Least Pampered', Slept In A Passageway: 'They'd See Me In My Towel'
Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday shared stories from his childhood and revealed he once lived in a corridor until he was 14. Saiyaara Actor Ahaan Panday: Ahaan Panday might be riding high on the blockbuster success of Saiyaara, but things weren't always so shiny for him growing up. The 26-year-old actor, who made a splash with his debut in Mohit Suri's film, recently opened up in a YouTube video about some very humble beginnings inside a very full house. Despite being the nephew of 80s star Chunky Panday and having a well-connected family, Ahaan said he often got the short end of the stick as a kid – starting with his bedroom. In a video appearance on sister Alanna Panday and her husband Ivor's channel, he revealed, 'I can't give you a specific one but I do know that I was the least pampered. I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life." Alanna, who has featured Ahaan in several of her videos before, quickly jumped in to clarify. 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built." But Ahaan was clear on the layout. 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first. One side was the exit, and the other side were my dad and Dadi's bedrooms. I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel everyday." Now living in a four-storey home built by his father Chikki Panday in Mumbai, Ahaan shared that the mansion comes with its own game room and separate staff flats – a long way from his makeshift bedroom growing up. The video also saw Alanna reflect on their joint family life, which included not just her immediate family but also Chunky, Bhavana Panday (known from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives), and cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday. 'We lived in a joint family. There's limited space. Would you rather live in a joint family full of love than have your own space and live separately?" she said. Ahaan nodded in agreement, adding, 'It was great. I won't have it any other way." While the behind-the-scenes stories from his childhood have been getting attention online, Ahaan's career is already hitting major milestones. Saiyaara has raked in over Rs 105 crore in just four days – a rare feat for a debut film in recent years. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
